• Evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of AP processes and propose improvements

• Gather end-to-end requirements and develop comprehensive Business Requirements Documents (BRDs)
• Drive change and influence across a decentralised and matrixed business structure
• Ensure smooth implementation of process changes with minimal operational disruption
• Develop SOPs and visual workflows to guide process adoption
• Train and support internal teams on newly implemented processes and best practices
